U. S. Civil War
NINTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
The result was a great lack of discipline, and a bitter feeling of jealousy between the different regiments, manifesting itself in the personal encounters of the men when they met upon the street. There was no order, no harmony. The parts of the machine did not fit well, and the commanding officer seems either not to have possessed the will or the ability to adjust them.
General Crittenden and myself, immediately after our arrival, visited the several camps discussed the impropriety of a divided command, and decided upon a concentration, but as neither of us had assumed command we deferred it until the morrow.
